Book no. 5: The Sparsholt Affair, by Alan Hollinghurst.

Hollinghurst's writing is beautiful. This story spans six decades, revolving around events that are only alluded to, including the 'affair' in the title, but which have a profound effect on several of the characters. A poignant view of the changing attitudes towards homosexuality over the decades.
Recommended.
